    Holbren

    Thanks to all those who mentioned Holbren as a supplier. Most prices are even better than Amazon with the SMC discount.

    Has anyone had any ordering issues that I should be aware of?

    Holbren is a class act business. You shouldn't have any problems, if for some reason you do, Brian will take care of you.

    They had a sale on 800-1000 router bit sets last week. Got them all shipped out by this week. Fantastic.

    I prefer Whiteside bits and order from Brian whenever I order Whiteside. He can supply things not easily seen on the website like certain bearings. The Whiteside catalog link on his page will give you the part number. If there is no price, just email them and ask. I had an odd question on a bearing that I emailed in and Brian just called me up and we talked it through. Got the right part in record time. Great service

    Holbren is the best. Great service, and you get the benefit of buying really nice router bits. A classic win win situation.

    Thanks guys! I ordered some blades from Holbren (Brian). I was glad to see that he's a member of SMC. He'll get my business moving forward.

    Online inventory is awesome, but don't be afraid to ask for things you don't see listed on the site. Definitely one of my favorite WW suppliers.

    I ordered some blades from him and after the fact he gave me the SMC refund which was real nice and he was easy to get a hold off on here.
